Lookin for opinions.   Which one?  A  FSII  2002 (completed date). Good fabric, paint very good,couple patches,  all points of continuity sound, standard gauges, no damage. But UL2-02, 106 on  Hobbs. Nicely done ship.

  Or

  A ,  87 vin. FS,   Fabric of  same vin. Many patches, say 20 or so. Paint good. Same gauges, Sound continuity.  460 hrs on original Hobbs and log. Has 447 Rotax w/ elec. start. 78 hrs. on new  motor. 

  Both ships at 7gs.

A good engine on failed fabric will come down faster and hit harder  

than a failed engine on good fabric.

Covering would be more important than anything else.



I think the Rotax and Cuyuna are the same reliability from what I have read here.



I am fixing up a Cuyuna UL II-02 as we speak. I may be test running it this weekend. I also have a spare Cuyuna 430 with 50 hrs on it.



Cuyuna UL II-02 is 38hp(at) and the Rotax 447 is 40 Hp



Parts available for both.



I think the newer covering is the better bet.  You can replace the Cuyuna eventually if you prefer but you should get some good life out of it yet.



I'd pick the newer one hands down.



My 2 cents
